Weekly Update 25/07/12

Yes this update is also late…There is just too much still to do that we barely have enough time to breath, yet alone sleep. From my side, encapsulation is almost done, chassis and suspension is coming together nicely (apart from the annoying supply delays) and CNCĂ­ng is happening very slowly. Time is short, stress levels are high but we’ll get it done. Haydn has invented a unique way of reflowing his boards, which involves a frying pan…Race strategy number crunching by Stephanus is getting scarier by the day. David and Pieter are working on a pretty intense battery box so we all putting in the extra effort needed.
